On Wednesday, I had Japanese class, went to the lounge for lunch, went to my US politics class, we spent more time on the Senkaku-Diaoyu dispute and US China politics. I went back to the lounge a bit and ended up spending about an hour helping a Japanese friend, Nari, with an assignment with English, then went home. At home I made my flight reservations for going to Matsuyama during winter break on a 787 with ANA (cough, dad). My travel plans as of now is fly into Matsuyama, train to Yawatahama, ferry to Beppu, spend the night, train to Miyazaki, then to friend's house near Kagoshima for a few days. After that, I plan to take the bullet train on the other side of Kyushu to Saga, stay the night there, then a day in Nagasaki before flying back to Tokyo in time for new years'.
Yesterday, Thursday, I got up, skyped, had history class, it was actually interesting today because we were talking about and watching a video about US and Japanese propaganda during World War 2. I then chilled in the lounge for a while. There was yet another Niji event, NCC or Niji Cooking Club. It was cooking, so I could not resist. I was expecting it to last only about an hour or so, but it lasted 3 hours. I made new friends and had fun, we made chocolate mousse and a chicken pot pie. It was awesome. The issue, I got home at 11:00 and still had a lot of homework. I finally finished working on homework around 2am.
Today I was really really tired, I had a presentation 2nd period, so I did not sleep in at all. The presentation went well I think. I then got lunch and ate in the lounge, but I was not very hungry, so I just had nikuman and banana. I ate with a group of Australian students today, they only arrived a week and a half ago, so are still not very comfortable and not well integrated yet. It is fun talking with them though. I then had my US politics class again. Still love it... maybe I should have been a polisci major instead. Anyways, after class, lounge, chilled, chatted, and worked on exact itinerary for winter break, then returned home. It was just my host brother and I for dinner tonight. Then let him play games on my phone while I did homework.
That is about it. Probably skipping again tomorrow, tomorrow is the Niji-no-Kai Christmas Party (a formal affair, everyone dresses up nicely).
Good night
